Okay, so I have this restaurant going into this building,,,,, [IMG][/IMG] Original (Circa 1915) and recreated lettering looks like this,,, [IMG][/IMG] The owner wants the lettering repainted, but I have been trying to tell him that I could do a better job, he thinks the old job looks great. Plus I am having a hard time trying to convince him that the awning lettering isn't quite enough for his restaurant. I really hate to see another restaurant fail because of poor signage.

Alicia, all we can do is make suggestions. Sometimes people get an idea in their head and they get stuck on it. I would do what they want that way you won't get blamed if things don't work out as planned. That being said I know you don't want people seeing you paint a funky sign. There is a certain charm to those old style, imperfect letters. People are wanting things that look hand done, without the computer accuracy.

we try to help, advise, beg, plead....it does no good. What "might" do good is to do a layout for them and show them your vision. Some people cant see what we do, therefore a visual proof might be best
